from the University of Warwick

[Posted on 21st June] The final version of the PG Conference programme and the abstracts are available on the website. Therefore, please refer to the latest files before deciding which sessions to attend. Thank you very much.

The Postgraduate Conference aims to offer the opportunity for postgraduate students from various areas in language teaching and applied linguistics from any institution to present their research, to attend experts' keynote presentations, to meet peers who engage in similar research activities, to practise their presentation skills, and to get valuable feedback on their research.

This year will see our first-ever pre-conference workshop on the previous day by five distinguished researchers from our Centre which will cover various aspects of research methodology and research themes. We welcome anyone to attend the workshops.
